What is "Free product takeback"?

Consumers can recycle their old waste electrical and electronic equipment in the following ways, either through their retailer or at their local civic amenity site. When you purchase electrical goods and electronic equipment from us we can take back the items that you are replacing. Take back is on a one-for- one basis only, the appliance being returned must be of a similar type or have performed the same function as the new item purchased. For example, we will not accept a fridge where you have purchased a toaster. The old product must be ready for collection, cleaned and disconnected from any utilities.
Unlike WEEE, there is no requirement to purchase batteries when returning waste batteries for recycling.

How do I organise free takeback of my item?

We, as the retailer, can collect WEEE items upon delivery of your new product or within 15 days of delivery of your new product. Simply call us on 1800 283082 to ensure arrangements are put in place and to allow us to contact you with a 24 hour notice of delivery and collection. Alternatively you can take the item to our premises at Cape House, Westend Office Park, Blanchardstown, Dublin 15.. You can also take the item to your local civic amenity. Waste batteries can also be recycled free of charge, we will take back waste batteries free of charge provided any waste batteries returned to us are of equivalent type sold by us. There is a bin for small batteries in your local store and at our premises at Cape House.

How do I recycle my item at a local civic amenity?

Each local civic amenity must accept household WEEE and waste batteries free of charge from members of the public. Please contact your local authority for details of your local civic amenity. Local Authorities cannot charge gate fees for WEEE or waste batteries.
